Condensation and the Volatility Trend of the Earth
Katharina Lodders, Bruce Fegley, Klaus Mezger +1
This article describes condensation of the elements and use of condensation temperatures (Tcond) to interpret the volatility trend of the Earth. Major points are: (1) a listing of…
Sulfur in the Giant Planets, their Moons, and Extrasolar Gas Giant Planets
Katharina Lodders, Bruce Fegley
We review sulfur chemistry of the gas giant planets and their moons where sulfur compounds are observed. The major S-bearing gas in the upper atmospheres of the giant planets is H2…
Solar System Abundances and Condensation Temperatures of the Halogens Fluorine, Chlorine, Bromine, and Iodine
Katharina Lodders, Bruce Fegley
We review a large body of literature for concentrations of halogens in chondrites and stellar halogen data used for solar system abundances (i.e., representative abundances of the…
Loss and fractionation of noble gas isotopes and moderately volatile elements from planetary embryos and early Venus, Earth and Mars
H. Lammer, M. Scherf, H. Kurokawa +12
Here we discuss the current state of knowledge on how atmospheric escape processes can fractionate noble gas isotopes and moderately volatile rock-forming elements that populate pr…
Superabundance of Exoplanet Sub-Neptunes Explained by Fugacity Crisis
Edwin S. Kite, Bruce Fegley, Laura Schaefer +1
Transiting planets with radii 2-3 $R_\bigoplus$ are much more numerous than larger planets. We propose that this drop-off is so abrupt because at 3 $R_\bigoplus$, base-o…
Thermodynamics of Element Volatility and its Application to Planetary Processes
Paolo A. Sossi, Bruce Fegley
Despite its importance in geological sciences, our understanding of interactions between gas and condensed phases (comprising solids and liquids) remains clouded by the fact that,…
